To all when?, t? may conce/7L:

Be it known that i, S'rErHAN Baoi'eHoANS, e, citizen of the YUnite States, and resident of iriilwnnio-ze, in the county of iiiiiwankee, and in the Siate ot' iifiseouein, have invented eerrnin new and useful improvements in Lawi-Spiini:ieisg und ido hereby deeinre that the following is i'ull, Meer, and erect rie- Scription thereof.

The object of my invention is to prou iilo a lawn-sprinkler having chambers for I.he aol eumnlntion ot eend and other sediment, which or whollyy prevent the flow of water; also has torito obj-eet to provide such asp rin kler that wii econoniize the water unil elt'ect .fr better distribution of. the Home than i5 ordi( nariiy the ense, und. to eine arrange the parts ns to prevent unnecessary wear.

My invention therefore consists in certnin pecniinritics of construction :imi arrangement Y et' parte to be hereinut'ter described, with re`terenee to the aeeompenying drnwinge, und subsequently einirieii,

rThe upper portion olf the hoilow .ntuil if is reduced nomen/hul. to forni :in nnuulurshonlder (L, that servos :is n rest for tho iower und ol' a, thinible ii, iooscly litteil over Suhl hollow stuii, mul lo properly hohl the Lhinihle tl in place uno :it thv sume lime prevent water :inni Sediment from ioilging between unid thimble and Stull i province, puckingbnmi checknnts'c c?, snifl peeking being :ii-ranged intornrosiinte or the upper elige ofV uniti thinible :imi the shrek-nut L3, both of said nuts` boing screwed to the upper enil ot' the aforesaid hollow stud. i

The lower end of the thiinble G is provided with an exterior]yeCreW-tlnezuled olsel: I), hnvinganoutWardiy-extendingannularflange c, and engaging the Screw-threaded offset i), und impinging against the flange c is the lower interiorlyeerei'-threeded portion ot a Chunk, ber il, the lutter being preferably cylindrical in shape et the bottom und spherical nt the top. c From the foregoing construction und arrinngement et ports it will be seen that I provide n circuler space di intermediate of the thiinble G und lower cylindrical. portion ot the chamber il for n purpose to be heroine-fterdeseribcd.

I represents' sprinhler- Lubes having the usual enrvnture,the innerends of said tubes engaging screw-threaded openingsein the upper part of the cylindrical portion of the chamher Il and the outer ends being provided with oups f5, having slots r/. Extending through and secured to the top of the spherical porltion of chamber li is another sprinkier-tube li, the iower cmi of the lutter being provided with openings '1T and the upper end withncap j, similnr to the cape/'nt the outer ends of the sprinkler-Lubes I,

Assuminjf that the paris nre in the position shown in liig'. 1, with the chnmbenextonsion i connected to u hoseor pipe fitted to asouree of wntensupply, :unl il; is desired to operato my device, the witter when turned` on will run into the lower chumber A up through the vertionl pipe lil into the upper-chamber ll, through the sprinkler-tubes I ll., :mil he Iiunlly flisehnrgud in the formo? spinythroughthe enpl'orce ol' the water removing the lhiuihle (i, together with the upper chamber ll.E and sprinkler-tubes l lf, upon the hollow Stuilb.

ly providing the slotted cups nt the ends of the spriuhlertubes I obtnin :i better distribution ot the water, although the lutter reult depends soluewl'uit upon the vertical sp1-ink ler-tul e lr, which not, only Servos :is un outlet for witter, but also :is :in inlet for nir, the hitter risiuf,r lo the top ol' the chamber ll und serving :is mi zuhlitionul `pressure for the water.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
